Has many primary sources, and not really notable either. Either delete or merge with Anti-brahminism which has got "tamil" already. Bladesmulti (talk) 09:17, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Selectively merge with Anti-Brahminism. Apart from other issues, the essay is more of criticism of Tamil Brahmins of a particular era of late 1800s and early 1900s. The target article is not huge in size and can easily accommodate this article and can be expanded thereon. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 15:51, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, it's not notable either, that's why thought of simply merging, like you just confirmed as well. Bladesmulti (talk) 16:13, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think reworking the article a bit and renaming it Non-Brahmin movement, which has received very substantial coverage in reliable independent sources and is noted in several existing articles on Wikipedia would be the way to go. There is a subject worth covering here, but this doesn't seem to be the right approach. Candleabracadabra (talk) 03:10, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

We got already one, called Dalit movement, which is highly stale for years. So no, any idea like "non-brahmin movement" would be no innovative. You can tell something about this article, that what should be done about it. Bladesmulti (talk) 03:22, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what the Dalit Buddhist movement has to do with the non-brahmin movement? I still think it's worth covering in its own article. Candleabracadabra (talk) 04:09, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's very obvious that whenever we wanted to cover any brahmin criticism, 95% of it we found was from some dalit source, most of the sources being really unreliable or nonamers(3rd hand blogs, hacked websites, etc). Otherwise had such Anti Brahmin movement ages ago.. Just a anti-brahminism, was enough. Bladesmulti (talk) 04:16, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

anything but what the article is now - delete, merge, redirect, nuke, scrap, disinfect.-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 03:25, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Anti-Brahminism rationale as above. Redtigerxyz ^Talk 11:35, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
